Skewed Squares

Hello again, I'm having a crafting day today, armed with my list of challenges and the raido keeping me company I'm crafting on my precious days off work!  I've done my share of entertaining my grand daughter and today and tomorrow are all mine....YAY!

This effort was started as the sketch but grew into meeting two other challenges, now I'm not entirely sure that the No Text theme over at Cute Card Thursday will allow newsprint....at least it's not me stamping a text, wonder if I'll get away with it. LOL  In fact, there is absolutely NO Stamping at all on this card!

in the big sheme of things it doesn't really matter, I had fun making this card and that's the MOST important reason why I craft in the first place, the sharing is an added bonus.

So this card is going into these challenges

Cute Card Thursday ~ Challenge # 161 - No Text

Jak-Inks ~ Challenge # 6 - Sketch

Sentimental Sunday ~ Challenge #52 - Let's get Punchy!

Celebrate Chinese New Year!

This challenge caught my eye as I have this old SU set Artfully Asian which I just love. So out it came and I had done a card similar to this a few years ago so trotted out the techniques I used then to make this one today for the challenge. This time though, I've stamped the sentiment on the ribbon.



I've taken this photo on an angle so the embossing on the black shows up well. It is dazzling diamonds mixed with clear embossing powder and gives off this lovely shimmer of colour at different angles.
